Chungking Told Noi To Worry,
Thai U. S. Will Not Desert China
In Any Agreement Made With Japs
WASHINGTON. Sept. 13 —iM
— Conviction that the United
States would not "desert" the
Chungking Chinese government
in any rapprochment that might
be effey ted with Japan was voiced
today by Senator George 'D-Ga1.
influential member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
"The Chinese have no reason
to worry about any action we
might lake." George told report-
ers
At the state department, mean-
time, secretary Hull said there
was absolutely nothing new in
Japanese-Amcrican relations He
reiterated to a press conference
that only exploratory talks were
in progress with the Japanese. He
said the talks involved an attempt
to ascertain whether negotiations
for a settlement of Pacific pro-
blems would be feasible or de-
sirable.
George told reporters there
seemed reason to hope that the
difficulties which led to the freez-
ing of Japanese assets in this
country eventually might be
worked out amicably.
But any such settlement, he
stressed, must take into consider-
ation the interests of Chiang Kai-
Shek's government in its unde-
clared war with Japan.
There have been some indiea
tions that the Chinese feared any
American rapprochement with
Japan might affect the vital flov.
of United States war supplies
coming to them over the Burma
road.
Another member of the senate
foreign relations committee, chair-
man Connally (D-Tex), expressed
the opinion that the future of 1
American relations with Tokyo
would hinge largely on develop-
ments arising from the action ol
the Japanese Emperor in taking '
over control of the army.
"If he means to be pacific, then
1 think there can be an adjust
ment of our differences with
Japan," he declared.
Connally said he thought the j
results of the German-Ruasian
campaign would have great bear-
ing on the future attitude ol the
Japanese. It the Nazi forces Bog-
ged down there, he predicted that
Tokyo would be much more an-
xious to smooth put its difficul-
ties with Washington.

Half Million Men To
Test U. S. Blitz Forces
In Huge War Games
BY IERRY T. BAULCH
With the second army in Louis-
iana. Sept. 13 —(/Pj— A race for
the red river was expected to start
the second army's deployment
against the third army when the
nation’s greatest war games start
l at midnight Sunday.
With out 150,000 men to Lieut
General Walter Krueger’s 330,000
Lieut. General Ben Lear must
depend upon surprise and mobili-
ty to gain a foothold on the wide,
muddy stream that will form a
difficult barrier between the fort -
es. Both armies are being held
several miles from the river for
the start, when they will be let
free to fight as they will.
The three 19,000-man square
divisions, two 15,000-man trian-
gular divisions, one 12,000-man
cavalry division, two 11,000-man
armored divisions, one 5,000-man
coast artillery brigade and at-
tached cavalry and artillery regi-
ments were deployed tonight
along a line stretched 100 miles
between Shreveport and Alexan-
dria several miles north of the
river.
Poised with reconnaissance
troops, ready to finger out along
the northern shoreline for strate-
gic positions were 100 observa-
tion planes. Horses, scout cars,
motorcycles and improvised re-
connaissance forces of the nation-
al gaurd square divisions will lead
the way for the mass movement
to the river front.
General Lear kept strictly sec-
ret his plans for the battle, but
it was apparent he would try to
beat General Krueger to the
punch, throwing up pontoon brid-
ges as soon as possible to estab-
lish strong bridgeheads on the
southern shore These would form
the base for operations against
the third army, massed in the
jungle-like Atehafalays swamp
land in southeast Louisiana anrl
the flat plains and marshes of the
southwestern section.
Aee in the hole for General
Lear is the first armored corps,
only complete organization of
tanks and armored vehicles in the
nation. With 300 tanks in each
of the two divisions — the first
from Fort Kimx. Ky., and the
second from Fort Benning, Ga.—
and some 2,000 other armored ve-
hicles, the second army will pos-
sess a fast moving, hard striking
force capable of hitting suddenly
from any direction after the river
is crossed.
The third army will have sever-
al hundred GHQ tanks attached,
but no complete armored divi-
sion.
Three hundred, seventy bomb-
ers and pursuit planes will for a
huge task force to support the
movements of (he second army
and to harrass the operations of
the third army — particularly to
ward off attacks by General
Krueger's more than 400 planes.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 13 V
A tropical storm of growing in
tensity, which skirted Louisiana's
gulf coast lor several days, today
curved northward toward western
Louisiana and threatened disrup-
tion of the beginning Sunday at
midnight of this nation's great-
est army maneuvers.
Nearly 500,000 troops from ev-
ery part of the nation were en-
camped in piney woods hills
directly in the path ol the storm
which latest reports from the
weather bureau said would reach
gale intensity and which was ex-
pected to pass inland after mid-
night between Bayou Vermilion
and the Sabine river, which
forms the Texas-Louisianu state
line.
Fleeing before ’he storm, near-
ly 500 army and navy planes,
attached to the Third army with
headquarters in Lake Charles, this
afternoon began moving from
Texas and Louisiana airports to
inland airfields to escape possible
damage.
Lake Charles, largest city in
southwest Louisiana and now sur-
rounded by many divisions
equipped with latest type arms and
tanks, was in the center of the
path the storm was expected to
take on reaching the mainland.
Third army headquarters, how-
ever, reported that the more than
330.000 troops in the army would
remain in the fielc. ana no post-
ponement in launching the man-
euvers with the Second armv to-
morrow at midnight was an-
nounced. The Second army lies
encamped about 100 miles to the
north, also in an area that may
be affected by squalls caused by
the gale.
The situation was similar to
that of August, 1940, when the
lust tropical storm hit Louisiana,
and after edging westward from
the me,uth of the Mississippi riv-
er clear to Lake Charles struck
northward with cloudbursts of
rain which mired down 90,000
troops for several days. Ex-
tremely heavy floods followed
along the coast
The U. S. weather bureau at
2:30 p. m. (Central Standard
Time) today reported that the
gale now was about 70 miles
sduthwest of Grand Isle,' appar-
ently moving west-northwestward
at about 10 miles per hour, when
the center expected to hit the
southwest Louisiana coast be-
tween midnight and five a. m.
Sunday, attending by shifting
gales up to 50 and 00 miles per
hour.
Persons in low exposed places
were warned to -eek -iifetv hs
| if If*. ‘vf»M- expected to rise three
to 11mii feet above normal fiom
Morgan City to Cameron, La
"Windt will increase ahead of
the storm path and rise to gale
velocity near the center," the
bureau said. "There is some pos-
sibility of a turn to the north
west or north In which cast tho
force will be felt a little further
east."
Heavy rain fell here and all
along the coait Storm warnings
remained displayed from Carra-
belle, Flo., to Sabino. Ttx.
Willkie To Speak For G. 0. P.
Candidates Who Are Supporting
Roosevelt's Foreign Policy
BY WILLIAM B. ARDERY
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 —<A>)
— Reporting that Wendell L.
Willkie has decided to take an
active part in the off-year elec-
tions of 1942, associates of the
i 1940 republican presidential nom-
inee said today he would work
and speak for those G O. P can-
didates who have backed Presi-
i dent Roosevelt’s foreign policy.
Willkie’s friends reported he
has made three political decisions:
1. He will work within the re-
publican party to make it one
standing for “internationalism”
rather than “isolationism.”
2. He will spend all his spare
time working for the nomination
and election of those republicans
who have supported administra-
tion foreign policy.
3. He will keep silent on cam-
paigns where democrats support-
ing Mr. Roosevelt’s foreign poli-
cies are fighting republicans who
oppose them.
Willkie, it was said authorita-
tively, is particularly anxious to
help in the reelection campaigns
of such men as Senators Ball <R-
Minni and Bridges 'P.-NH1. both
of whom have supportwj adminis-
tration foreign policy legislation.
As to Senator McNary (R-Oro>,
the senate minority leader and the
vice-presidential nominee last
year, Willkie has told friends that
McNary has been 60 per cent
right and 40 wrong on foreign
policy questions. He has added,
however, that he intends to sup-
port McNary.
Willkie was said to believe that
the whole future of the republican
party would depend on whether it
elects "internationalists" or "iso-
lationists" next year. He is con-
vinced, it was said, that if the
party turns toward isolationism
there will be room for a powerful
new party in the country.
Associates made it clear that
Willkie vigorously opposes many
of the new deal domestic poli-
cies. They said he intends to at-
tack them while supporting the
administration foreign policy.
For instance, it was said, Will-
kie thinks that defense produc- :
tion has been mismanaged, that
President Roosevelt has not ob-
tained full cooperation of man-
agement and labor and that poor
administration has hampered
many domestic programs.

Credit Standing
KNOW *
O
c
Credit standing is a person’s financial repu-
tation. In determining this credit standing as a
basis for a loan a bank considers these factors:
Has he a good job?
Ha* he held it for some time?
Does it seem permanent?
Has he been able to keep continuously employed?
Is he industrious?
Does he take advantage of opportunities?
Does he seem stable, or is he constantly switch-
ing from one job to another?
Has he a steady income?
Is he thrifty?
Is he building up a reserve in the form of sav-
ings, life insurance, etc.?
Is he honest, trustworthy, reliable?
Does he pay his debts and obligations promptly?
Is he always in debt?
Does he overdraw his bank account?
D<>es he study to improve himself in his work?
Is he looking forward and planning for the future?
A study of these factors will indicate the course
you should follow to strengthen your personal
credit standing. Always keep this question in
mind. Will the bank be justified on the basis
of my record - in entrusting its depositors’
funds to me?”.

Plan Announced
ABILENE, Tex., Sept. 14—(AN
| —The West Texas chamber of
I commerce today announced a
year-long inter-community de-
i tense and preservation contest
open to all its affiliated towns.
J. Thomas Davis, WTCC pres-
j ident, described the contest in a
news letter to directors and local

hicle by which your city can not
only cooperate in defense activ-
ities but also in territorial pro-
grams benefitting your city."
A town's entry will be by au-
thority of the chamber of com-
merce acting through its public
affairs committee. Entry will be
made on or before the WTCC's
1941 fall convention in Midland.

President Davis has announced.
Among activities to be judged
will be these:
Collection of supplies essential
to defense production; sale of
defense savings stamps and
bonds; anti-sabotage and arti-
strike prevention; morale build-
ing programs, ratio of volunteer
enlistments in the armed forces,
selective service enrollments.
